My problem with HDR

[PrisenShift]

In general, I watched this video:

And I wanted to do HDR in my beta too. I did almost everything according to the instructions, but did not understand this task: Make grayscaled versions with low brightness (better use “curves” for fine tweaking) of your every VTF skybox texture and add them to corresponding alpha channel of the same textures. I may seem stupid, but I really don't understand how to make those damn grayscaled versions of skyboxes  . Pls help me.

This may not be Helpful but HDR is sometimes REALLY Broken. Especially with maps older than 2003. in my experience. so just a warning

I know. I just want to play September 2003 Storyline fix by XJR9000, I know that 2000-2001 maps with HDR is shit but holy crap, I don't know how to make grayscaled versions of skyboxes for HDR, that is why I created this topic.
